Green & Co. report on cotton futures says:
The cotton contract market has held firmly all
day, and made gain in value of some four TO
five points, closing well sustained There was
nothing in the way of new adviceS in hand from
the crop, while the port and interior movement
of supplies was very liberal, but buyers mani
tested decidedly nervous feeling aud the gen
eral tendency to cover created a stimulating in
tiuence. Liverpool was buyer here to some ex-
tent, and, together with Manchester, sent over
some pretty strong accounts but the principal
source of apprehension was the expected crop
reports from Washington and New Orleans, the
impression being quite prevalent that the show
ing will be more or less unfavorable. Spot cot
ton continues scarce and firm"

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.-This was a decidedly off
day on the Board of Trade. There was mani
fest indispositon to trade, due largely to the
fact that the crowd was waiting for the govern
ment crop report which is due tomorrow.
Wheat shared the general misfortune, which
seemed to have overtaken all OF the markets.
The pit was nearly deserted all day, and the
market was entirely devoid of interesting feat
ures The market showed some strength at the
opening and sales were made 14c above closing
figures yesterday afternoon, but realizing set Ia
and with rather free offering the market settled
back 5sc, and the closing was about 1Bc lower
than yesterday. A light demand existed for
cash and offerings were limited. Buyers paid
within 116c Of October prices to-day to get wheat
with which 10 fill orders Corn was less active.
The feeling early was weaker and prices ruled
lower There were rumors that the government
crop report 10 be Issued tomorrow would make
q favorable showing, making the estimated crop
at $40, 600, 900 bushels which is about the same
as last year. Receipts we're nearly 100 cars more
than expected, and estimates for tomorrow are
quite large--464 cars. These features had the
effect of increasing offerings, which became
liberal considerable long corn coming on the
market. A prominent local operator, supposed
to be- large holder of corn, sold quite freely for
September delivery. The market opened at
about yesterday g closing, was easy and declined
161J4c, near futures exhibiting less strength
than yesterday, later advanced and closed Mc
lower for september, B0114c for October, and
10slec for May than yesterdays close. Oats,
cash and near futures were flrmer, due probably
to small receipts. Deferred deliveries were quiet
and without essential change from yesterdays
advanced or closed prices. Cash oats were NC
higher; No. quoted at 25c. Sales were by sam
pie. however, leaving the in-store market little
more than nominal. Provisions were very mod
erately active but unsettled. Short ribs were
again the favOrite and fuctuated sharply within
a 15c range. The market opened firm and 2l2GD
SC higher October sold TO 90 IS, broke to IS 80
on increased offerings, due to weakness In corn
but before / O'Clock the close became stronger
and rally to outside prices followed, last sales
being at the top and sc over yesterdays close

ing at S. SIN; January declined 216c and closed
at So G2I<. A fair business occurred in January
